Before you toss out any mail or documents containing your personal information (name, address, account numbers, etc.), run those papers through a paper shredder first. Add these revealing everyday documents you never knew you should shred to that list while you're at it.
Wait at least a day, if not two, before deciding they're still emailing you. After that, the best recourse is to either delete the messages manually, mark them as spam, or automate your email interface to take one of those actions automatically.
Periodically email or call the companies and ask to be removed from their mailing lists (check their privacy policy page for exact opt out contact details). This is the most effective way to get off mailing lists.
Ctrl-D deletes all characters to the right of the cursor (including the character under it).
Dear Sir/Madam, This is a request that my personal information is removed from all of your mailing lists for unsolicited mail. I would like my name and address removed, effective immediately. You are currently sending unsolicited mail to: insert name, address, and zip code.
The company must honor your request within 10 business days. If there's no way to opt out or if you still get unwanted email from the company after 10 business days, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.
Removing someone from your email list is very simple, and depending on the email client or marketing tools you use, the process of removing them is relatively the same. Go to your contacts, lists, subscribers, or audiences. Place a checkmark by each contact you want to remove. Choose to unsubscribe, or delete.
If a company does not unsubscribe you from their mailing list, the first thing you should do is call them and ask them politely to unsubscribe you. If that doesn't work, you can try writing them an email explaining that they have not been able to unsubscribe you and asking them to do so.
To opt out permanently: Go to optoutprescreen or call 1-888-5-OPT-OUT (1-888-567-8688) to start the process. But to complete your request, you'll need to sign and return the Permanent Opt-Out Election form you'll get after you've started the process.
